I would like to thank NetGalley, the authors and Oliver Heber Books for providing me with a free ARC of this book in return for my honest and personal opinions.
I was ecstatic when I received the notification that I was approved this ARC because the cover and book synopsis promised a cute and fluffy small town romance between a bookstore owner and a mysterious grump. The book isn't that far off but I was DEFINITELY not expecting the male lead to be like that.
The Plot This book had SO MUCH to offer but the plot fell really flat to me, so much that it felt like a chore to read this book. To me, it was very evident that this book was written by two authors because the writing was differing drastically from one chapter to another. I don't want to sound ridiculous but at a point in this book, there simply was no plot and only lust between the two main characters. I feel like this book would have been so so so much better if the male leads "circumstances" were different because it truly could have been a cute small town, grumpy x sunshine romance. The book just seemed like the authors wanted the book to be different from other books but, to me, it just came out plain weird.
The Characters Cady Cady annoyed me SO MUCH in this book! She seemed to be one of those people who would bring herself down just to receive compliments from others ...more

The Plot I liked how chaotic this book started because it was like something out of a rom-com! The main part of this book (the competition) was a really interesting and unique aspect to this book which I really liked. I really enjoyed the writing of this book and felt like it was very fast paced which never let me get bored whilst reading. I liked how detailed the main plot was and how I as a reader who knows nothing about interior design but I didn't feel overwhelmed whatsoever whilst reading this book and I feel like the author did a good job of ensuring that.
The Characters Ella Ella was definitely a fierce character who was not afraid to speak out her opinions and I really liked that about her! She wasn't a fragile character when she had no reason to be. At the beginning I found her a bit annoying seeing as it seemed like she kept bugging Grant but overtime she grew a bit on me and became much less annoying. I loved how brave she was when she was helpless in situations and how she kept her tough act even when crumbling slowly inside which made her more of an inspirational woman!
Grant In the beginning of the book, Grant was the literal meaning of GRUMPY. I didn't think that I would like him that much throughout the book but, once again, he grew on me and became this huge softy for Ella. I loved his interactions with his friends and how close they all were together. That plot twist shocked me and shook me to my core and that is not an understatement! I was flabbergasted for an entire minute so I liked how he overcame all that and moved forward to find other happiness.
Extra note: I don't really get why "Bacon Flavored Soda" was mentioned so many times in this book but I'm sure someone out there found it pleasant?
If you want to read a fast paced, enemies to lovers with forced proximity, then this is definitely a book you should consider reading!
I would like to give a big thanks to NetGalley, the publishers and mostly the author Sara Jane Woodley for writing

✅Friends to Lovers ✅Best friend's Brother ✅Childhood Friends ✅She Fell First but He Fell Harder ✅Dual POVs
The Plot This book grasped my interest from the very beginning! The Plot wasn't as cliché as I thought it would be since in a way this book is a friends to lovers which many people aren't actually a fan of but I am certain that so many would love this book because even though they already knew each other and us readers didn't get that development, there was still a big development between the two but there is also a big development with the plot itself which does keep you interested. I understand that the community center is a big part in this book and plot but I felt like a few more pages to explain its importance to the characters individually would have helped a bit more.
The Characters Daisy Daisy was such a well written and cute character. All the effort she puts into helping others and putting others needs before her own was very inspirational. I really enjoyed reading about her background and how she is the person she is now because of all she had been through. I liked how close she was to her sister and how their relationship was so strong in this book!
Luke Luke was such a sweetheart in this book! Again, I liked how the author explained his hardships so well and how it shows that his past made him who he truly is now. I loved how we see him slowly letting go of what holds him back in life and his relationship with his sister and her husband aka his best friend is just *chefs kiss*...more

This book starts off when Chloe, a young woman ends up in a very small but loving town called Fantasie with her wonderful purple truck which she hopes she can turn into a taco truck soon! When she parks her truck in a reserved parking spot and refuses to remove it until the next few days, Lucas Donavan threatens to tow her truck. When ignoring him starts to be impossible since not only is she staying at his mother's inn but half of the town's population are his relatives, they are automatically pushed together. Her plans for the future are foggy but staying in Fantasie and settling down are definitely not on her list.
The Plot
✔Small Town Romance ✔Forced Proximity ✔Found Family ✔Enemies to Lovers ✔He Fell First ✔Opposites Attract ✔City Girl x Small Town Boy ✔Grumpy x Sunshine
This book was very light and quick to get through and I enjoyed that. I loved the entire concept of the taco truck and I really enjoyed how the DeMaggio family just kept multiplying every chapter. The found family trope in this book was adorable and I liked how Chloe found friendship and was accepted by a whole time even when doubting herself.
The Characters Chloe I really enjoyed Chloe's character. She was funny and very sassy but overall she was really nice to everyone in the town so I felt very connected to her character and overall she had been through so much before going to Fantasie and I liked that she was independent in that way and wanted to continue being an independent woman in a town where she knew no one. [image]
Lucas I'm going to be completely honest!!! I did not like Lucas in the first few parts of the book. He kept looking at her with ya know ya know in his head but then I felt like he warmed up to an actual idea of being with her. Him being described as a "family guy" was really nice in this book and how he kept going with his father's legacy. I love how he acted like a grouch with the other characters but was trying to cover up his true feeling of kindness and I found that really cute.
I definitely want a book for Josie and Finn and I would absolutely love to read their book because every time they were in the same chapter together, I was eating up their bickering every. Single. Time. [image]

First of all, I want to thank the author and NetGalley for providing me an arc of this book. I really wanted to enjoy this since it was a very short book about valentines day but, for some reason, this book didn't really fit with me.
The Plot The book itself isn't that memorable and I can't remember one of their names but the beginning of the book did intrigue me! The fact that this was going to be fake dating was very interesting but only a day or two after they started, she fell in love with him with no explanation so I HATED the insta- love in this. I still can't accept that she "liked him" because from whatever I read, it was pure lust that she had, saying how the only thing she could imagine a few minutes after saying she "liked him" was sleeping with him and well... other things. [image]
The Characters Helen I did not like Helen whatsoever. Her character was really flat to me and I feel like she "fell in love" with him only because she hadn't dated someone for a while and he was showing some signs of real affection ...more

Violet is crushed after an argument with her best friend Lewis. She decides to skip class in the common room but so is Jaxon. Violet doesn’t like Jaxon, the most popular boy in school who has used pick-up lines on her everyday since 9th grade. When a teacher enters the room they both panic and end up kissing! Violet learns of a bet that Jaxon and Lewis made a few years back on winning over Violet. After Lewis broke her heart, she and Jaxon decide to fake date to get back at Lewis. But what are the consequences when she doesn’t want to fake it anymore?
This was a very fast and refreshing book to read. I felt like the beginning was a tad slow. This book had way too many typos. At some parts, it took me a few seconds to actually understand a sentence. I liked both Jaxon and Violet. There were some parts that felt a bit forced between them but, it wasn’t excessive. I’m not sure if there’s going to be a book about Madison but if so, I’m excited!

The Plot
This book in general was quite different from the first book The Fine Print. At the beginning I was sooo confused when she wasn't actually the chosen woman for the contract since this book is most popular for the marriage of convenience trope. AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT A SPOILER SINCE IT'S BASICALLY THE ENTIRE PLOT OF THE BOOK ...more
